Shouldn't there be a discussion of issues related to the Republic of the Philippines' Comelec? Maccess 07:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it José Melo since January 26, 2008 ? Lars 10:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC) Since Melo was not confirmed by the Senate COA, then PGMA re-submitted her appointment. It appears that the new appointment is ad interim, that is, Melo can assume office despite non-confirmation, but the reports are yet to be referenced.[reply]

Mystic Fire, Twin Ambushes and Collapse of Chair Benipayo

[edit]
On the March 11, 2007 mystic fire which halved the seal of the COMELEC, now, after the ouster of Abalos, comes the OMEN: twin dire punishments for this so corrupt office: murder of Dalaig and ambush of his replacement today. This is what I had repeatedly written as WikiPedia curse by the dwarves under Psalm 109 as the sole way to ferret the truth. Cover-ups, circus, etc. will not satisfy the search for veritas. This one is what we are waiting for ... Remember Comelec Chair Alfredo Benipayo's collapse on Feb. 22, 2008 at Iloilo IBP speech? -- --Florentino floro (talk) 06:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The result of the move request was: page moved -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:14, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Philippine Commission on ElectionsCommission on Elections (Philippines) – Quite simply, this body is called as "COMELEC" but I don't think that'll fly, so its official name is the "Commission on Elections", not "Philippine(s) Commission on Elections" or "Commission on Elections of the Philippines" or by any other name, so, as what's done on governmental bodies that adds a parenthetical country name, this should have been at "Commission on Elections (Philippines)"... which was the title until this was moved here for a flimsy reason. –HTD 06:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support for "COMELEC" - In all honesty I actually wanted to move it to "COMELEC" as well but I didn't think it would last. The reason for moving was that parentheses are simply unnecessary when there is a clear name available. I did think about moving it to "Republic of the Philippines Commission on Elections" which is the title on their own banners but it is a cumbersome title. As a compromise I thought just "Philippines Commission on Elections" was a good title. Green Giant (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • If you'll judge on this, there's no way "Republic of the Philippines Commission on Elections" would fit on the sign, unless "Republic of the Philippines" was like a header, which is just like pretty much all national government institutions. –HTD 23:39, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We should drop the Philippines modifier

[edit]

Commission on Elections redirects here. Why do we even need the modifier "(Philippines)"? Does any other country have a Commission on Elections or COMELEC? Is it an English speaking country? Is it as big as the Philippines? I think that simplicity is best. We should just drop the Commission on Elections. Alternatively, complying by WP:Commonname we could just use COMELEC. Article titles should be common names, not official names. For example, see the Big Dig for the Central Artery Tunnel project. --Bruce Hall (talk) 05:02, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 18:32, 8 October 2012 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

Commission on Elections (Philippines)Commission on Elections – The name should be the common name which is either "Commission on Elections" or "COMELEC". If the commission was exclusively known as COMELEC, then that would be the best title but per WP:ACRONYMTITLE, we should avoid acronyms where there is an alternative name that is equally used. Green Giant (talk) 12:52, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Discussion

[edit]
Any additional comments:
  • Support The base name already redirects here. There is absolutely no reason to add an extra disambiguator when there are not conflicting Wikipedia articles. --Polaron | Talk 03:49, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support For the same above reasons. Simple is better and I see no reason to complicate the title with (Philippines). (As an aside, I have noticed a similar problems with many Philippine-related articles. It seems people add (Philippines) even though there is no conflicting title.) --Bruce Hall (talk) 05:15, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided not to move it — "Commission on Elections" is broad enough that it really needs to be a redirect to election commission. Is "Philippine Election Commission" an option? I've not checked their website, simply because it keeps giving me a "page cannot be found" message. Nyttend (talk) 21:59, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I would suggest Philippine Commission on Elections because of the word order on the archived version of the website. Green Giant (talk) 23:39, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Commission on Elections (Philippines)ComelecCommon name. Most published works use the contraction over the long name (Inquirer, Rappler, Philippine Star, GMA News, Manila Bulletin, Sun Star, InterAksyon, CNN Philippines). Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 04:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I concur - except that most reliable sources in the Philippines in the English language use all capitals: Comelec. For example,the home page of the COMELEC website, accessed 28 January 2016, consistently uses the all upper case abbreviation of "COMELEC" rather than "Comelec".
